Netflix Cancels ‘The Recruit’ After Two Seasons Despite Improved Reception

The Noah Centineo-led spy drama ends abruptly, leaving unresolved storylines and disappointed fans.

Netflix confirmed the cancellation of 'The Recruit' on March 5, 2025, just over a month after the release of its second season.
The series, starring Noah Centineo as a rookie CIA lawyer, had expanded its scope in Season 2 with international settings, including South Korea.
Despite appearing in Netflix’s Top 10 rankings and earning stronger critical reviews for its second season, the show was not renewed for a third season.
Cast member Colton Dunn announced the cancellation on social media, with Netflix providing no official explanation for the decision.
Both seasons of 'The Recruit' remain available for streaming on Netflix, offering fans a chance to revisit the espionage drama.
